Experienced hoteliers Steven Hesketh and Daniel Gillon, co-founder and managing director of Onyx Real Estate Liverpool, have taken over the old Holt Lodge Hotel. They have announced plans for a programme of investment totalling a quarter of a million pounds over the next few months. They have also given it a new name: Hotel Wrexham.
The hotel has 37 bedrooms on around seven acres of land between Waterways Garden Centre and Holt.
Initial redevelopments to the hotel include full upgrades to all 37 rooms within the first six months.
Following that, the focus will move to the 120+ person function suite, with the hope of working closely with local businesses and sports clubs to run networking sessions, dinners, and other functions. The hotel is also keen to offer off-site hospitality facilities for pre-match dinner packages.
Steven Hesketh owns The Chester Townhouse, a family-run business. He focuses on supporting and nurturing the visitor economy.
Steven Hesketh, co-owner, Hotel WrexhamAs Wrexham continues its winning streak under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the stars have aligned within the region’s hospitality scene to create waves around the future of another iconic Wrexham landmark, Holt Lodge Hotel."
Stephen continues to say “The award-winning hotel has been run by husband-and-wife team Andrew and Alexandra Smeaton and their family for over 25 years. It is a part of the region’s history and is known for its hospitality, dining, and comfortable accommodation. However, the time has come for new owners to map out the hotel’s future. We are excited to take on that challenge.”
Daniel Gillon, co-owner, Hotel WrexhamWe are proud to be here in Wrexham and look forward to developing events that bring the community together.”
